The "I ♥ Boobies!" bracelets are heading to the Supreme Court! Indeed, after the Third Circuit ruled it could not ban the bracelets, a Pennsylvania school district has voted 7-1 to appeal the decision. The district claims that the ruling compromised the disciplinary authority of the school. I wonder, however, whether that authority has been so weakened so as to justify the district's expenditure of taxpayer dollars to continue the fight. No matter, at least the district's students are having the opportunity to learn about the First Amendment.

The students need to assert the aspect of the First Amendment regarding petitioning the government for redress of grievances and not just free speech or free assembly, They need to assert all three prongs of the First Amendment in the appeal to the Supreme Court.
